Hello. Since I had my baby 8 months ago I'm finding it difficult to deal with my temper and I'm always angry or emotional especially with my husband. Me and my husband we been together for 5 years and married for a year and we both are deeply in love but the problem is these days if he says anything to me I get annoyed and we argue over little things. We talked about it already but nothing has changed even our sex life has changed. What to do? I need help.

are you nursing the baby? if so that has impact on your hormones too..

RevMick agony auntHi OP,

I would please go and see your GP it could be you're suffering from postnatal depression or a hormonal imbalance.

I agree with Honeypie, are you eating regularly? Your body has just gone through a huge change, and it could be something as simple as your body needing vitamins. But, you won't know until you see a GP.

My sister, when she had her first baby kept fainting and it wasn't until she scalded her arm on a radiator one day that they found out she had a deficiency.

Head to a doctor just to make sure everything's okay.

It's not unusual to be cranky, tired, moody etc. with a new baby in your life. They're a hell of a lot of work, stress and worry, even when you think that's the case.

But it could be a bit of PND too, so a trip to the doc is in order.

It could also be poor nutrition in terms of getting everything you need, poor sleeping pattern etc.

OP a baby changes everything, maybe the it's just the shock of that change still and you're not yet used to it.

A doc will be able to help you and do some bloods to make sure you don't have a deficiency.

Just understand it's very common and mostly normal to be like this after having a baby, but if it's having too much of a negative impact on the quality of your life then you need to get it sorted.

Honeypie agony auntI would go see your doctor, it can be hormonal and it can be some lingering "baby blues".

Are you eating well, sleeping well?

Are you staying at home with the baby or back at work?

It can be that the change in situation is a factor.
